As an administrator I would like LDAP password restriction errors reflected in the Confluence UI error message

      NOTE: This suggestion is for Confluence Server. Using Confluence Cloud? See the corresponding suggestion.

      In cases where the LDAP user directory is read/write, the logs will report the password complexity errors but the user sees a generic "Sorry, but your password could not be changed". 

      It would be helpful if the messages from the logs were passed to the Confluence UI.

      Examples from the logs are:

      {code}LDAP: error code 19 - 0000052D: Constraint violation - check_password_restrictions: the password does not meet the complexity criteria!]{code}

      {code}[LDAP: error code 19 - 0000052D: Constraint violation - check_password_restrictions: the password is too short. It should be equal or longer than 8 characters!{code}

      If these errors were seen by the users they would be able to comply with the restrictions, as it is, they do not know why the password cannot be changed.
